Abstract
Water rocket is a non-chemical rocket mechanically powered by pressurized gas and liquid (water) propellants. Since water rockets share many engineering commonalities with liquid propellant rockets for space launch vehicles, it is as a education tool for rocket engineering. Present paper investigated the availability of water rocket as an engineering education model by surveying the history of water rocket and making examples from K-12 education, commercial products and club activities. Finally, a way of improvement is suggested for water rocket competitions make changes in the perception on water rockets by examining the limitations of present competitions.
